What is the hottest topic at your school? In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, it’s money.

The school had an activity called “making a living” recently. About 800 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 112 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.

What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.

Huqi’s team decided to sell educational books in front of the Children Activity Centre. They thought parents would like to buy books for their children. But unfortunately(不幸地), they came across urban management officers(城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek with the officers for the whole morning,” said Hu. “Finally we gave up and moved to other place.

Wang Yongyi and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying the money was to help the “Project Hope” for country kids. It worked. More people came to their stall. A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan.

Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn’t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to earn the money we need to lead happy lives.”

Robert Fredy was general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury Park, New Jersey. One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light, Stephen Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver, walked up to Fredy’s car hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield(挡风玻璃). Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fredy turned on the wipers to show he wasn’t interested. Pearman put his head close to the window. “Come on, mister. Give me chance. I need job”, he said. Something in Stephen Pearman’s voice moved Robert Fredy. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fredy handed Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious.

“My friends told me he was just pulling my leg,” said Pearman. “But I said, ‘No, he’s a businessman. I need to give it shot. ’”

Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager’s office of the big hotel. Fredy gave him a job and lent him pocket money while training him.

Today, Pearman works full- time setting up the hotel’s dining halls for business meetings. In the past two years, he has found a flat, married and repaid Fredy’s loans(贷款)

“Mr Fredy gave me a second chance,” says Pearman. “And I took advantage of it. I could have just come here a while and left. But there is no future washing wind- shields. ”

Fredy always keeps away from the street people. “But. Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money, Fredy says. “I don’t hand my business card to just anybody. But I’m glad I did in this case. ”

March 29 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!

The earth has warmed by about 1(华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer.

First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.

When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island,100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999.Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.

People can affect the earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
